Saints Peter And Paul Cathedral (Ulaanbaatar)
It is the official episcopal see of the Apostolic Prefecture of Ulaanbaatar.
Building
It has 36 semicircular windows and a window in the skylight. They were added by 2005, and were part of a project of Brother Mark, a member of the Taizé Community. The windows depict the four evangelists in their symbolic forms: an eagle, an angel, a yak and a snow leopard. The latter two are the local reinterpretations of traditional Christian iconography, which replace the traditional winged bull and a winged lion. Inside is a statue of the Virgin Mary, venerated after being discovered in the rubbish in 2013.
